LEROY BROTHERS L ANCENT “CONCEPT GALLERY ” A SAINT-PAUL DE VENCE
Encore une galerie à Saint-Paul! Cette fois ci, conçue par les Leroy Brothers en collaboration avec l’énigmatique marchand d’art Guy Pieters...
Saint-Paul Fidèles au défi relevé d’aller à contre-courant de l’ordre établi, les Leroy Brothers ont élaboré une ‘concept gallery’ en collabo-ration avec Guy Pieters Gallery, “Le Boudoir de Saint-Paul”.Cette présentation très éclectique d’oeuvres d’art moderne et contem-porain (Klein, Delvoye, Picasso, ...) dans un lieu qui rappelle le club anglais, est en contradiction radicale avec les galeries londoniennes et new-yorkaises, souvent impersonnelles et minimalistes.Le Boudoir de Saint-Paul se veut être un lieu ouvert, une plate-forme créée par les Leroy Brothers pour y développer des projets artistiques en collaboration avec différents artistes, curateurs, musiciens et ac-teurs... Des projets artistiques nouveaux pourront y voir le jour. Le Boudoir de Saint-Paul se veut également être un lieu de rencontre pour accueillir des personnalités du milieu artistique qui pourront y communiquer leur point de vue sur le monde des arts. Les interviews et les discussions seront enregistrées et diffusées.
ARTISTE DU MOIS:
C H R I S T OChristo revient sur l’avant-scène avec un Mastaba qui bat tous les records!
Abu Dhabi Après plus de 30 ans de négociations et de prépara-tives, Christo peut finalement construire son Mastaba à 250 million de dollar dans le désert des EAU, à environ 160km de Abu Dhabi. Le Mastaba, une oeuvre d’art qui a comme seul but d’exister, sera réalisé avec environ 400.000 barils de couleurs vibrantes. Ses 150m de hauteur et 300m de largeur, feront du Mastaba non seulement l’oeuvre d’art la plus chère au monde, mais aussi la plus grande. Jeanne-Claude aurait été tellement fière...

L’art c’est ta psychose et ta lu-cidité, ton démon et ton ange, ta réalité et ton rêve. Tu l’aspires, tu le bouffes, tu le baises et tu le chies. Prépare-toi à ta désintox!
Pour être un artiste, tu dois devenir de l’art. Au petit déj’, tu n’étales pas du beurre, mais de l’art sur tes toasts. Tu aspires de l’art frais, pas d’air. Tu
penses à l’art à chaque instant de la journée. Tu aimes l’art plus que tu aimes ta maîtresse. Tout ce que tu vois, entends, sens et touches fait partie de ton art. Les nouvelles, les com-portements sociaux, les autres, les désastres, les soirées, le shopping, tout ce qui croise ton chemin doit être mis en rapport à l’art. Tu n’es plus celui qui vit sa vie entre la mai-son et le boulot. Dès à présent, il n’y a plus de différence entre temps libre et travail. Aujourd’hui ton travail c’est l’art, ton corps et ton esprit sont de l’art.Dana Friis-Hansen, curateur de l’expo Mu-rakami à Bard College à New York en 1998, disait un jour à propos de Murakami, qu’ apparemment il n’a pas de temps pour des relations romantiques ou familiales. Il fait de l’art et il dort. Pendant l’installation d’une expo, il demande au curateur de pouvoir dormir dans la galerie, emportant des sacs
de couchage, des assistants et des nouilles. Comme Murakami, tu focalises sur l’art. Ne tiens pas compte de ce que les autres pensent de tes décisions barges pour arriver plus près de ton art. Ca aidera à créer le mythe autour de ta personne. Un comportement un peu bizarre est un atout pour un artiste. Les gens l’adorent.L’invention, la création et le marketing sont les trois étapes pour devenir un artiste à succès. Efface les lignes entre ces étapes et rassemble-les! Vis-les comme une seule solution! C’est une manière efficace pour épargner de l’énergie. Souviens-toi de toutes les tâches que tu dois faire. Tiens compte de ces étapes jour et nuit et tu seras surpris combien de taf t’arriveras à faire. Réunir ces étapes te fera gagner du temps et facilitera le tas de boulot apparamment im-mense. Compresse ces trois étapes en une seule et tu commenceras à générer de l’art valable pour le marché de l’art.
Tous les mois, La Gazette propose un chapitre du livre “Comment devenir un artiste contemporain à succès de A à Z” des Leroy Brothers. www.leroybrothers.net
